SEMPMO108 - SQA Unit Code H03R 04 Carrying out shaping operations

Transcription

1 Overview This unit covers the skills and knowledge you will need to produce shaped products by material removal to modify the shape of a component, or generate a component from stock material. This will involve carrying out the shaping operation according to defined operating procedures. You will be expected to monitor the shaping operation, ensuring that the completed components are to the required specification. Meeting production targets will be an important issue and your production records must show consistent and satisfactory performance. Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for the shaping activities undertaken, and to report any problems with the shaping activities to the relevant people. You will be expected to work to instructions, taking personal responsibility for your actions and the quality and accuracy of the work that you produce. You will also be expected to complete any necessary documentation accurately. Your underpinning knowledge will be sufficient to provide a sound basis for your work, and will enable you to adopt an informed approach to applying the required work instructions and shaping procedures. You will have an understanding of the shaping process used, and its application, and will know about the equipment, materials and consumables in adequate depth to provide a sound background for carrying out the activities to the required specification. You will understand the safety precautions required when working with the shaping tools, equipment and materials. You will be required to demonstrate safe working practices throughout, and will understand the responsibility you owe to yourself and others in the workplace. NB This unit is not applicable to wood machining operations to which other industry specific standards and strict regulations apply. This unit on shaping operations involves: 1. using the correct tools, equipment and materials for the shaping operation 2. carrying out the shaping operation 3. monitoring the shaping operation 4. reporting problems to the appropriate person 5. completing any necessary documentation 6. working in ways which maintain the safety of yourself and others SEMPMO108 1

2 Performance criteria You must be able to: P1 work safely at all times, complying with health and safety, environmental and other relevant regulations and guidelines P2 ensure you have the correct job instructions and any relevant shaping procedure and quality specifications P3 use the correct shaping tools, equipment, materials and work holding methods for the shaping operations being performed P4 carry out the shaping operation according to instructions and safe operating procedures P5 monitor the shaping operation and identify any problems that occur P6 report any problems immediately to the appropriate person P7 produce shaped products which comply with the shaping specification and quality requirements P8 work to achieve your production targets P9 deal appropriately with finished components and complete any necessary documentation accurately SEMPMO108 2
